One 77-year-old’s search for the truth: 9/11, election fraud, illegal wars, Wall Street criminality, a stolen nuke, the neocon wars, control of the U.S. government by global corporations, the unjustified assault on Social Security, media complicity, and the "Great Recession" about to become the second Great Depression. "The most important truths are hidden from us by the powerful few who strive to steal the American dream by keeping We the People in the dark."

Hear it from a thinking Democrat: "Throughout his tenure, Obama's done what supporters thought impossible. He's governed to the right of George Bush. He mocks rule of law principles and other democratic values. He prioritizes wars on humanity. He's waging multiple direct and proxy ones. War on terror subterfuge disguises them."

He challenges Russia's military strength. He targets China's
growing economic might. At the same time, he's in bed with rogue Israeli
governance. He supports some of the most ruthless corrupt tyrants.

He's economically and socially destructive at home. He spurns popular
interests. He looted the nation's wealth. He wrecked the economy. He
consigned growing millions to impoverishment without jobs.

He institutionalized tyranny. He targets dissenters. Challenging
political corruption, corporate crooks, or abuse of power lawlessness
endangers anyone who tries.

He's a con man. After all the harm he caused, half the country still supports him. He gets away with murder and much more.

Most people haven't a clue. They're out of touch. They don't understand what harms them. They ignore their own welfare.

Some perhaps don't care. Others are dismissive. They know more about bread and circuses than vital major issues to address.

Obama takes full advantage. He governs lawlessly. He's in bed with corrupted monied interests. They own him.

He plans throwing most Americans under the bus. It's his scheme to give them more. America is more hypocrisy than democracy.

Obama is money power's point man. He takes orders and salutes. He
prioritizes destroying America's social contract. Domestic budget cuts
will be made on the backs of ordinary people.On January 14, he did what he does best. He lied. He's a serial liar.
He's a moral coward. In the White House East Room, he held his final
first term press conference . Duplicity substituted for truth.

Republicans and Democrats agreed years ago to erode vital social
benefits en route to eliminating them altogether. Obama pretends
otherwise.

"They (Republicans) will not collect a ransom in exchange for not crashing the American economy," he said.

"The financial well-being of the American people is not leverage to
be used. The full faith and credit of the United States of America is
not a bargaining chip."

Remember years earlier. He stressed "shared sacrifice." Left unexplained then and now is who shares and who sacrifices.

Duopoly power runs America. Global monied interests own it. Not a
dime's worth of difference separates Democrats from Republicans. On
issues mattering most, they're in lockstep.

Ordinary Americans have been targeted for decades. Since the
mid-1970s, average inflation adjusted incomes for most people fell.

People struggle to get by. Growing millions are impoverished. Real
unemployment is 23%. It nearly matches Great Depression levels. Hunger
and homelessness are major problems. Force-fed austerity is planned when
stimulus is vitally needed.

Neither party wants voters blaming them for crashing the economy.
Reality takes precedence over bluster, scoring political points, and
one-upsmanship.

Journal editors said more. They editorialized " The Next Tax Increase ," saying:"The new tax hike is barely law and Obama already wants more.""He won't negotiate with Republicans," he claims. Spending cuts and higher taxes go together like ham and eggs.

He larded the yearend agreement with tens of billions of dollars in
corporate benefits. He's got lots more in mind. He's doing it on the
backs of ordinary people.

"Once upon a time," said Journal editors, "the Democratic
political strategy was 'tax, spend and elect.' And then tax some more.
Republicans" better get the message "or they'll end up having to raise
taxes again."

If "fiscal negotiations are going nowhere, perhaps it's because the president simply won't make an honest argument."

If Journal editors won't tell readers about bipartisan complicity to
destroy America's social contact, perhaps it's because they don't want
them to know.Nor does Bloomberg . It headlined "Congress Can Resolve the Debt-Limit Crisis. Really," saying:

The "absurd has become sadly commonplace in Washington."
Obama "compar(es) Congress to a bunch of deadbeat diners who refuse to
pay their bill."

At the same time, he "was careful to say this was a crisis Congress would have to solve."

It's third-worldizing America. Neo-serfdom is planned. Most Americans haven't a clue. Dark forces take full advantage.

Obama's their point man. He's got four more years to finish what his
first term began. Worse than ever times loom. They've been happening
gradually for decades. They're planned incrementally. It's like boiling a frog. Eliminating
America's social contract is on the menu. It'll be dinner when served.

America already isn't fit to live in. Imagine how much worse ahead is planned.
